HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (1347 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Generative AI

The crosswords are super fun but i just wish there wasnt AI used when it comes to the cover photos of the packs.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Too many ads

The ads for this app have become excessive. There are times I have to exit out of the app in order to get out of the ad. I’m ready to remove the app from my phone.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
Newbie

I am just starting but already enjoy not having to wait for someone else to play.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Yes.

The ads are annoying

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
The pop up garbage…

Decent crossword puzzles and the theme works well on all of them. The crossword application itself is fine but the amount of marketing pop-up garbage and advertising makes the app completely unusable.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Be careful..

I enjoyed the app. However, after downloading it my cable app kept telling me something was trying to hack my phone. Shortly after I deleted this app it stopped sending me those notifications.
